GRID

Question 1

are used to reduce scatter radiation

Answer 1

Grid

Question 2

by absorbing scattered xrays grids improve image contrast but may reduce the number of xray reaching the receptor

Answer 2

Reduces scatter

Question 3

grids with higher ratios (12:1) absorb more scatter but may further reduce density

Answer 3

Higher Grid Ratio

Question 4

results in more scatter reaching the receptor, which may increase overall density but decrease image qaulity

Answer 4

No Grid

Question 5

refers to unwanted exposure on the radiograph

Answer 5

Fog

Question 6

it reduces image contrast and can indirectly affect density

Answer 6

Fog

Question 7

refers to limiting the size of the xray field

Answer 7

Beam Restriction (collimation)

Question 8

less scatter radiation reaches the receptor leading to improve image contrast and lower density

Answer 8

decreased scatter

Question 9

more scatter radiation reaches the image receptor which can increase overall density

Answer 9

Increased scatter
